The 12th Annual E30 Picnic in June delivered again with a whole weekend’s worth of activities for E30 enthusiasts. The weekend starts early for those traveling from out of town as caravans start hitting the road on Thursday from points in Southern California. All caravans from north and south meet on Saturday afternoon at Griots Garage for the Saturday E30 Tech Session. This also serves as a gathering point to caravan to James Crivellone’s house for the Saturday Evening R3VLimited bash. Parking on the tight 2-lane street went on for a quarter mile.​We were treated to fantastic weather for the Sunday Picnic, almost too hot! The typical uber-eclectic mix of E30s showed up, about 195 total E30s this year making the E30 Picnic still the largest E30 car show in the world!

Those in attendance saw plenty of E30s at the E30 Picnic… 185 to be exact! The Picnic continues to be the largest E30-specific gathering in the world. Call Ripley’s! The weekend started on Saturday with a multi-session tech event at Griot’s Garage. Saturday evening many owners descended on James Crivellone’s house for an evening of beer, BBQ2U and simulator racing.

Sunday was the big day and though the forecast had been for rain, the E30 Gods smiled on the event bringing the sun out as droves of E30s descended to the LeMay Marymount Museum’s East Lawn. The site was gorgeous with lush green lawn and towering trees lining the perimeter. The E30 owners in attendance were a diverse group. Though many owners were in their 20s and 30s, enthusiastic owners were in attendance up to 71 years old. Caravans of E30s traveled from Oregon, California, British Columbia and Alberta.
